| I gave this anime a 7 but even so I have a feeling I'm overrating it. It's probably because I started watching this anime with considerably high expectations which were unfortunately not fulfiled. Starting with characters, although I found some likeable ones there, the annoying ones outmatched them by far and the only one I'd actually like to see again is Masamune. Then the story, which could maybe be more interesting/even engrossing if they gave us more time to digest it, is too rushed and thus very shallow. However, what striked me as plain ridiculous were the hugely exaggerated effects. Wait..to call them just "effects" is not right. At the beginning I thought that the "effects" are just to show the will or the passion in fight, but then people started flying after one swing of katana, spear or six katanas or whatever. Something like this would be perfectly fine in Bleach but in this anime it just seemed absurd. Though the utmost absurdity was reched in the final fight against Oda...I have no more words for it. And not to forget... a 'cherry on top' would be the mysterious "power" (or whatever that could be?) that miraculously helped Ichi out of the deadly situation... Well, to sum it up... i don't feel like watching the second season (but will probably give it a try) |

| Great ending, really an awesome battle! But i can't believe Shingen and Kenshin are still alive in the end, seems so... weird^^ |
| Horrible anime. I watched it to it's end just because I don't just drop animes(except if they're like 150 episodes long or so). Characters wasn't developed at all, overpowered generals blowing like thousands soldiers were even worse. Actually there wasn't plot at all or this was the worst plot ever. Even the most stupid game/anime would have used something better than some ultimate evil wishing to destroy everything. And the main generals are like always equal - Sana Yukimura vs. Date Masamune and Kenshin vs. Takeda - 12 crappy episodes and not a single of these duels was resoluted. Worst samurai anime ever. Maybe this can get into the 10 worst animes ever. Ending was soooooo bad. Wait, did they just went to space and then used some overpowered attack coming out of nowhere? And what happened in the end? We hit the spot where the anime actually started at. Yeah, nothing changed except the fact that Oda died, without leaving any significant mark after himself(actually this anime ended where it started) and yeah, few supporting characters died in some really stupid ways. Wait, did Ichi followed her hallucination just to do nothing and get killed? Gave it 4/10 too early, probably it doesn't worth even that much, but let's say I gave 1 point for every thing I kinda liked. Only things I kinda' liked was Date Masamune's english phrases, the moment when Keiji drew his sword and actually was doing something for a few seconds, and the character Sarutobi Sasuke(yeah, he wasn't that bad). Yeah, that's the worst anime I watched to now. |

| Well, that's one way to make a return to the battlefield. Too bad it was over so quickly. If you want over-the-top action based somewhat on historical persons, this is definately one of the animes to see. |
'Everything is impossible until proven possible.' - Me |
| Mitsuhide's last moments, lol!! Well, I was expecting an even better fight at the end, but ah well. Decent anime. |
| FUCKING MANLY. I'm glad I watched this series. Mitsuhide is far beyond the definition of masochist. LoL. Oda went out like a punk. Date Masamune and Yuukimura were just badass. Ichigo and co. made an epic entrance as well. Everything is back to how it should of been. Man, I can't wait to order the game online and wreck people SB style. I don't care what anyone says or criticizes, I liked this anime. I didn't pick it up for plot twists and story writing in the first place. I have many other anime for that. LET'S PARTY |
 |
| I was kind of disappointed, how this season ended. Mitshuhide was supposed to kill Nobunaga and then get killed by Hideyoshi, not the way they did in the Anime. I mean, they got the historical nicknames right, so why didn't they do the story historical right? |
| I guess Ichii didn't die and she used spirits or something to kill Oda's wife. I thought Ichi would live after that somehow, but I guess not. Dx Mitsuhide was just well creepy good thing I had the sound down or my parents would be thinking I was watching porn. xD The final battle was exciting. very fun series and I loved the opening and ending. 9/10 Now off to watch the second season I hope to see more "YUKIMURA" "OYAKATA-SAMA" moments and falco punches. xD |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| BLAH! That sure was one hell of an epic episode! I remember how I hated it(probably the most) out of all the S1 episodes, but now, when I liked every single one, this one is sure one of my favorites. I enjoyed Mitsuhide's last moments, he's just friggin psycho, I just can't get enough of his attitude! And my most favorite lines of his almost made me scream because of it's epicness: "You call yoursel the Right Eye, that means you don't need your left eye, right?" Chousokabe's appearance was too short but still he made it in time somehow. And Mouri was way more epic even if he said just few words. The rainbow attack was so epic, I just never saw it coming! Back then I hated the ilogical comeback of Date and Sanada, but now it felt just great! And now my overall score(which will overwrite the one before this re-watch): Too bad we didn't get the awesome ED this time, despite I was feeling like it will happen this way anyway. 1. Characters. +1. One of the reasons I started re-watching this anime was because of the characters. As the time passed I finally understood how great they actually are. My most favorites are probably Date, Chousokabe, Mouri, Matsunaga, Kenshin. 2. Atmosphere. +1. This anime is full of epic atmosphere. I can't really explain it, it's all up to you to understand it's true feeling. But the simplest way to say why I like it - the feeling you get when the greatest character fight for the sake of the fight. 3. OST. +1. The soundtrack was really great, I like every track out of it. 4. Animation. +1. Can you really ask for better animation? Be it the the overall art or just the techniques, it was totally great! 5. Background story. Ok, I won't give point here, just because there wasn't background story, despite this anime really didn't need one. 6. Storyline. +1. It was well put, the 3-4 main parts of it were totally ok for me. 7. Ending. +1. Perfect ending. 8. Fight scenes. +1. Totally giving a point. Sengoku Basara is one of the animes with best fights! 9. Drama. +1. The last time I watched SB I didn't felt like there was any drama at all, but now I think that drama has one considerable part in this anime, even if it's way more lighthearted than in the most animes. In any way it's well put in. 10. Overall feeling. +1. I had totally no problem anytime when re-watching this anime. Despite that I totally hated Sengoku Basara on my first watch - not only I did not find any smell of sense in it, but I actually didn't find a thing to like out of it. Back then I even gave 4/10 while wondering what for in the world I started watching this shit. The contrast with now and then is so strong that it even makes me like this anime even more. Every moment out of it felt great now and the only thing I regret is that there is no more(out of Season 1). Bonus(extra) point for:... +1. The Sengoku Basara spirit. Probably that's the main reason I started re-watching Season 1. At some point I understood with my heart the SB spirit - people fighting for the sake of the fight. Even if it may seem shallow to you, it's actually something you don't see in every anime and it's even more rarer for this aspect to get so much attention in any anime. Just like the case where we got an EVA pilot who loved with her whole heart to control the EVA, but it happened just now, after so many years. Overall Score(re-watch): 10/10. Can't wait to re-watch Season 2(whiche i liked so much even on my first watch). |
|
| Epic! ending to a very good anime. I guess it's time to watch season two! Overall score 8/10 |
| Koujiro owned the shit out of Mitsuhide lol. Oda was a beast until the end, it took Honda, Date and Yukimura to finish him off. The ending to the show was good, I liked how they ended it off with rivals fighting off each other. Anyways this isn't the end since there's another season :). |
 |
| Epic conclusion to an Epic anime. Date Masamune is the man XD. I can't wait to watch the second season as well as the movie |
| I can't get enough of Masamune man his fight with Yukimura fighting Obonaga. I really thought the unexplained power was cool!! This ending just made a comeback for later hopefully!! Date don't stop being boss love your hair down !!! |
 |
| I really liked this anime, I know there are some plot holes and some unfinished things but damn, how can anyone hate an anime with an awesomecharacter as Date Masamune in it? I personally loved the special power things, sure, it's not very realistic but since when do we watch action anime's for our daily dosis of realism? I found this anime very enjoyable and I'm looking forward to the next season + movie, definitely a hidden gem in the countless action anime's that are out there :) 8/10 |
| This was a very good anime for me to watch. I seriously love how the characters were constructed in the very short time frame with out making it boring. Although it didn't have the exact realism that I expected, I still enjoyed the flare that the battles had. I am definitely going to watch the second season and follow up with the movie. I gave this series an 8/10 |
 |
| Watched it, well I would say 6, but I shall give 7 as the animation was really nice. Other than that I liked the fights and the ending of this season. I don't want to comment anything negative so I wont. And I shall watch the next season too with hope for something better. 7/10. |
 |
| >Rest in peace Final scenes were kinda what I expected. Obviously some hints for season 2... 5/10. Historical series never seem to click with me for some reason. |
 |
| This series was OK I guess, I got pretty bored at times and a lot of the fights seemed kinda rushed. Not to mention the random unexplained powers and ridiculous plot armor most of the generals had. Overall I give this series a 6/10 |

| Man, seeing the gundam samurai blow up a second time? Aww man. Also, seeing everyone come together at the end was brilliant, I missed Keiji I'm gonna go with 8/10, would be a 7 but I love this setting way too much for that.  |
| Epic and especially intense ending I must say! Quite liked the overall action of this anime but it had some weaker parts but in general it was a very lovely action filled anime with some great performance of Wakamoto Norio! 8/10 Let's see what the specials and the second season will offer us! |
 |
| if you look at things differently, Nobunaga was actually a good guy for being a bad guy. You know, because of him everyone joined forces however now that he's dead they're back to fighting again. I'm just wondering though where the hell is Toyotomi Hideyoshi? I know he's one of the very important people in Japan's sengoku period.. I don't know why he's not here. Maybe he'll appear in the second season. Anyway I love this show. Great action scenes. Wars and stuff, I really like it. There were some inconsistencies especially in animation but all it all the show was very good. 8/10 |
 |
| wtf did i watch. I really like the historical genre but this show was a total turnoff. Too much action, characters yelling random things, weird fanservice and a trainwreck plot. Ugh. Onto season 2. I mean, I downloaded so I might as well watch it. |
| "Go ahead. My eye will bare its fangs and bite you." Damnit, why is Date is awesome. |
| Entertaining but only to some extent 6/10 |
 |
| that was some overpowered shit and an epic ending. i really enjoyed the action because it never took a break and i loved the one eyed dragon date. |

MistressMorbid said: Seriously, I haven't enjoyed myself that much watching a show in a long time. I know it's not a masterpiece in all aspects, but for me the overall impact was phenomenal. I don't care if the plot lagged a bit, or if some things were ridiculous.....taking it as a pure bad-ass action show is all I wanted from it, and in that respect it delivered. I'm fucking pumped for season 2. This ranks for me as one of the most EPIC anime I have ever seen. m/ basically this. Meritas said: BLAH! That sure was one hell of an epic episode!

LOOOOL LITERALLY A FEW POSTS AGO IT WAS THE WORST ANIME EVER what on earth made you even rewatch it if it was so bad in the first place i wonder? -------- so they teamed up to end a war...to start a war. lol still, wow, that was great. i know the plot was a prob 2/10 but my overall vibes was a definite 10. very enjoyable directing, excellent OST, UNBELIEVABLE animation, expert voice acting, and don't even get me started on that english :P there's a lot of leftover plot and characters so i expect to have my fill if them in the next seasons and movie (?). high hopes for S2. so glad i finally picked this up. (side note: i really hope the whole lesbian vibes go away or are the same in the future. and if the oppai ninja gets an even more slutty outfit i will scream.) |

| Normal ending and yea ofc Oda died with the power of all fractions. Good stuff and entertaining ending. |
